Letter to the Editor: ‘Embrace this special time in your lives’

Oct. 10, 2015
First, I want to compliment the staff on an outstanding Oct. 6 issue of the Gateway. As a former Gateway editor and sports editor, I was very impressed. Keep up the good work.

But specifically, I enjoyed the stories on Baxter Arena, the preview of the Minnesota State series and, especially, the guide to Maverick hockey directed to the student body. For the first time in school history, UNO has a true home ice for hockey — one that can easily be accessed by the students. In the 18 years of following UNO hockey on the road, you don’t know how important it is to have students on hand to back their team. You’re about to find out, and the players will appreciate that support.

My advice to all students: Embrace this special time in your lives. The social part of college is an important part of the overall experience. You are on the ground floor of one of the most historical moments in UNO history, so enjoy it!
